ISTANBUL (AA) – China issued a new set of regulations on Wednesday to reduce red tape in government departments, directing officials to hold fewer meetings, give shorter speeches, file concise documents, and minimize inspections.
The regulations were issued by the general offices of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council to free grassroots officials from bureaucratism and pointless formalities and refine a long-term mechanism for reducing burdens at the primary level, state-run Xinhua News reported.
